True War

Yakov Holtzman arrives as 'a displaced person' in Melbourne—a destination as far away as it is possible to get from the graveyard that is Europe. He has put behind him the years he spent as a Nazi resistance leader with a band of partisans in the forests of Lithuania—and the family he lost—to join his brother and start a new life as the watchmaker he once was. Yakov now looks for solace—and love—in the fragmented and traumatised community of Jewish refugees taking root in a new land.
